- Production Technology
- The design started from concept sketches on a blank paper and continued with full scale drawings, CAD drawing, prototyping from extruded polystyrene foam, prototyping from MDF, and the fabrication with a CNC machine. Finally it has been manually painted, polished and assembled.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was to achieve an accurate balance between attractive futuristic shape and functional characteristics of the musical instruments, and finally get it build precisely according the concept.
- Research
- Though being a huge guitar enthusiast throughout the years I've never thought about designing one. This project demanded a deep research in various aspects of electric guitars in order to reach maximum comfortable playability, sound specifications, ergonomics and last but not least - manufacturability. From analyzing traditional shapes to studying contemporary trends in the guitar industry and spending countless hours to search for any kind of relevant information, the process took it's time. But due to the positive feedback from fellow musicians it was worth it.
- Inspiration
- The guitar design based on both ergonomic body properties and shapes of vessels such as yachts or jets which smooth gliding on the waves or soaring high above evokes a feeling of absolute freedom just like our favorite music.
- Project Duration
- The project started in the Fall of 2018 and finished in Summer of 2019. It has been developed in Moscow, Russia
- Operation Flow
- Use it with headphone amplifier or a powerful guitar stack, just the way you like to play music.
